8 A Curious Fact! It is really remarkable the j number of cheap plated watch! cases sold these days, cases that ! will wear from six weeks to . Iwo years, containing a guaran tee warranting them lor 20 years. The construction of the guarantee is misleading. The case will not wear out, al though the gold is all worn off. When you buy a watch case, get a good one, which is guar anteed not to wear off in 20 years, and if it does, you can get a new case. We sell O-old. billed. Watch Cases that have stood the test for years, and personally guaran tee every case, in addition to the manufacturer's guarantee. T. IE. ZKO"3Ti3, BLOOMSBURG, TA. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURQ. PA. J.

If this is to be the Electrical Cen tury, as is generally predicted, how could it be better introduced than by the elaborate display of electrical ad vancement that is to be made at the Pan-American Exposition? Never be fore has there been an exposition pro jected where the .question of the amount of power to be used was limit ed only by how much can be advan tageously used. This is a marvellous feature and its full significance is al most beyond human comprehension Howeve, the nearness of the Pan American Exposition to Niagara Falls and its truly wonderful power resources makes the statement absolutely true.

Laokawanna'i New Summer Book- The Lackawanna Railroad is about to issue a Summer Book for the com ing season, in which each town along the line will be attractively written up. For the information of those de siring summer homes, it has been de cided to admit a limited number of advertisements of hotels and board ing houses, and these advertisements will be placed immediately following the reading matter relative to the town in which they arc located. The demand tor such advertise ments has been so great that the Company has decided to modify the policy established a yearago, when its Summer book was issued without ad vertising of any kind, and permit a brief number to appear. It is believed that the change will be a gratifying one to those who are anxious to secure some of the increasing summer patron age along the line. The Local Ticket Agent has been supplied with specimen pages from this new book, showing rates for ad vertising, and other details in connec tion with it. Copies of these may be obtained upon application. ' Matter for insertion in the new book must be sent either to the General Passenger Agent or left with the Local Ticket Agent on or before the 30th February. The Local Ticket Agent glad to answer any inquiries. day of will be 3t Tor Sale. Three town lots on Ninth street above Catharine, 33 feet front each, and running back to the canal.
